CAN YOU IMAGINE 2060?
Contribute your ideas to help make this region and our communities great places to live and work -- for you, your children, and your children's children.
Citizens and organizations from all around the Baltimore region are invited to take part in a groundbreaking series of public workshops to imagine the future of transportation. Workshop participants will have an opportunity to share their values and ideas about how future transportation initiatives can make the region a better place to live. Later public workshops will deal more specifically with the planning process to achieve this vision. Pascal Senior Center 125 Dorsey Road, Glen Burnie, MD 21061
Registration begins 30 minutes prior to each workshop. Additional details about transit access and driving directions, links to join the imagine 2060 e-mail list or the Facebook and Twitter online communities, and how to RSVP for an upcoming public workshop can be found by visiting the link below. |

At the rally site, riders will receive a free t-shirt, bicycle resources, and a Bicycle Commuter Guide for Employees and Employers, as well as be entered to win prizes (including a folding bike). If you are interested in being a sponsor for B2WD please contact BMC's Stephanie Yanovitz at syanovitz@baltometro.org.
